Sakura had been hearing whispers about discord in the world.  The most notable rumor of some soulless Enivi raising zombies and attacking the Vespiri temple were swirling.  The rumors were the thing that caused her to set out in search of herself from her Druaesi home.  If the other herds were going to be under attack, she may as well learn where she fit in before they were all gone, or in shambles.  Her adoptive parents hadn’t approved of course, but what...

Kresnica stood waiting outside the temple, listening to the upbeat music of the celebration.  The music itself was a call to home, and he found himself tapping his hind hoof in time to the drums.  He was still apprehensive about the idea of sharing some time with one of his former charges, but maybe it could diminish some of the thoughts of failure he had come to work on.  While he and Stella had talked in depth about the events and what had gone on, it didn�...

Kresnica shook his head, antlers deftly smacking a couple of leaves from the air.  Stella had chosen not to travel with him on this occasion, taking the time to bolster the defenses of another town.  He had heard mentions of attacking trees when they had discussed the matter, and they had both decided that she’d be best helping where she can by teaching, and just preparing in general.  Kres was also perfectly fine with coming here on his own.  Stella didn�...

Claris double checked her gear.  Bug net?  Check.  Bug cage?  Check.  Bag filled with snacks, first aid essentials, a knife, and water?  Also check.  She settled her bag and gear over her shoulders, being careful of her wings.  They were stronger than they looked, but also more delicate than most of the standard wing types one would encounter on Enivi.  She couldn’t fly, but they did provide a cooling system in the summer.  Claris was appreciative of...

Sunlight hit Alcea straight in the face.  Her room was a prank upon herself really.  She technically wasn’t a morning Enivi, but running an Inn meant she had to adjust to the task, or tasks, at hand, and being up and at them was part of the parcel.  Today, it was sunlight as an alarm, mostly because the weather as of late had been cloud free.  She did have a magical alarm to wake her up for the mornings where sunlight wasn’t a factor.  She also  still ...

Inigo watched quietly as his sister went through her stretching routine to prepare for the day.  Hoofball had been a large part of her life and still was, according to the updates they sent back and forth, and while he didn’t get why there was such a big importance about warming up for the day, he didn’t question the superstitions of his sister.  He had his own after all and time around family was better spent actually with family and not questioning thing...

Alcea was waiting outside the Inn, carrying an empty bag over her shoulders, and a wide brimmed hat to shield her eyes from the sun at least.  She flicked her tail back and forth to disrupt a fly from attempting to investigate further.  She glanced out to the sea, and then back at the front door, where Leilianna had just exited, also having dug out a hat from her wardrobe.  Hers seemed to be made of reinforced stretched silk and seemed to match a light gauzey...

She trudged back along the cliff sides to where she had recalled the voice echoing from the night before.  Despite her attempts to coax out the voice again, and maybe get a glimpse of the hidden duetist, the mysterious voice remained a brief memory from her practicing last night.  Leilianna held her head down lower, still not quite fully awake this morning.  She was banking on the morning air, and a quick swim to fully get her up and moving, since she didn’...

Leilianna glanced behind her, antlers brushing against the juniper tree’s roots as she made her way out to the beachside, following the cliffs.  She had stepped away from the inn after her performance and accolades and socializing to get a quick breath of evening air.  Sometimes, she’d have a fan deciding to follow, but tonight seemed like she’d get the air to herself, and not have to worry about dodging and playing tag with an individual with unknown ca...

A small group consisting of 7 Enivi; Sky, Drew, Fox, Eve, Loki, Sapphire, and Sophia make their way into the dense jungles. Eve and Sky were leading as they knew what to avoid and what was safe for the most part, Sapphire stayed behind everyone to watch over the Trouble Duo that Loki and Fox tend to be, while Drew and Sophia attempted to help each other with their anxiety of moving through these jungles. After about half an hour of calm and peace besides the Trouble Duo snickering and...

Vinca started following Buttercup towards the food stalls, looking intrigued.  Did Buttercup know what those plants were?  Either way, the Ortusi continued to chatter on the way over, even though Vinca didn’t respond verbally to the chatter.“Ah, you should try the fish and rice!  That’s always a favorite of mine.  It’s right t...

Vinca kept wandering around the festival, still looking around for someone who seemed to have the free time to take a stroll and go see this carnivorous plant she had happened upon.  She passed the food stalls easily enough, not quite hungry at the current time to take an in depth look, and ended up at a bit of a field with defined lines and what seemed like posts at a distance away. She stopped to take a look at the event curiously, overhearing some words from...

Vinca had managed to make it to the entrance of the city, where one of the festival’s decorations was standing.  This particular decoration was a tall dragon.  The dragon was painted in many different shades of red, with each scale edged in metal.  The claws and teeth were made of the lightest silver that could be wrought, and delicately affixed to the dragon with heavier bronze or gold.  The eyes were made with very clear glass marbles, and a fire was kep...

Curiosity had gotten the better of Vinca.  She had spotted a couple of other Enivi heading into the jungle, and had decided to take a break from her fishing to follow them, since they seemed excited about something or other.  She had used her wings to follow from above for the time being.  While she certainly didn’t care if the rest of the Enivi she had been following were scared of her, she was worried about them dashing off and not getting to the destinat...

Jules the Ortusi was wanting to adventure. She wasn't sure exactly why she was drawn to this particular ideal, but it was bound to be interesting. She knew it would be a long journey, so took her time with the preparations, making sure she had everything she would need. She looked over the list she had written, checking off things as she assembled them. It wasn't that tough, Jules thought to herself, as she rolled a blanket and tied it. She attached it to the saddlebag and nosed the ot...

‘Follow the antler marks.  That’s all one needs to do, and you won’t get lost, or become food.’  This thought was repeated in Laguna’s mind as he continued forward, keeping an eye on the changing moss color, and the trees themselves.  The standard forest sounds of which he was familiar with, slowly started changing to what seemed more sinister?  Maybe that was just his own fears being projected.  A sudden, long, and loud creak made him look back f...
